But, the late, great Al Davis is gone, giving way to a new day in Oakland, in which GM Reggie McKenzie is starting fresh.
For real, this time.
Nonetheless, if Carson Palmer gets settled in and Darren McFadden can stay healthy, the Raiders should be in the hunt for a playoff berth at season's end, thanks to a schedule that ranks in the middle of the pack as far as difficulty is concerned.
Speaking of which, let's have a gander at that very slate the Raiders will be up against in 2012.
